Abstract

This study is to carry out the field measurements of the suspended concentration by using MTB-16K turbidity records in the surf zone of mild sloping beach (1/144). Then the vertical concentration distributions of the suspended sediment at different water depth d/L0 and the longitudal concentration distributions of the suspended sediment across the surf zone are analyzed and discussed respectively in this paper.
